Starting on Phillip Island Grand Prix track

Great news...last week we received confirmation that we can start our ride on the Phillip Island Grand Prix track!!

We will do 1 lap of the world famous track and then head off on our way towards Wollongong.

It is going to be the slowest recorded lap time in the history of the track but it is going to be fun. Sheepstations for the first rider into turn 1......

Many thanks to the people at the track who have allowed this.

Cheers
Carl

Training

Just back from a weeks rest after a few good training weeks. Last week I covered 250+kms which was good. A long way of 1,000kms in a week though....
But the aim of the game is to be consistent and then build up to big weeks a few times before we go.
It was strange getting back on the bike yesterday after the break, it felt like I had been off for months and the legs struggled a bit.
Out again tonight after work and the plan is to get out each evening and then hit some big rides on the weekend.

First group training ride

We had our first full group ride on Sunday. The weather was wet and cold but the spirits were high. Carl and Aaron managed 100km while Erika and Paul were a bit more conservative.

The Beginning of the Journey

And so, the adventure begins.

Phillip Island, VIC to Wollongong, NSW. 1000km in 8 days!

We have set up this blog to track our journey from the beginning - the training and fund raising, right through to the end.

Our plan is to leave Phillip Island on 20 October 2011 and to arrive in Wollongong on 27 October 2011. Here is a map of the route that we are going to follow:
